WEBSPHERE PORTAL V6.1 TUNING GUIDE
SOLARI S CO NTAINE R
Use Solaris Containers to better utilize your modern, powerful T2 server with hundreds of
virtual processors. In our lab, we use Processor Sets to partition virtual processors. We
create a vertical cluster with six Portal members, then bind each member to a Solaris
Processor Set, this configuration gives the optimum performance result.
The commands we use to setup,
1.”pooladm –e” to enable pool facility
2.”pooladm –s” to create a static configuration file that matches the current dynamic
configuration
3.”poolcfg –c ‘create wp_pset1 (unit pset.min=20; unit pset.amx =21)’”
Create a processor set, named wp_pset1 or your choice, with between 20 and 21
processors. Create one per processor set.
4.”poolcfg –c ‘create pool wp_pool1’”
Create resource pool named wp_pool1 or your choice.
Create one per pool.
5.”poolcfg –c ‘associate pool wp_pool1(pset wp_pset1)’”
Join the pool and the processor set with an association.
Do this for each Processor set.
6.”pooladm –c”
Commit the configuration at /etc/pooladm.conf.
7.”poolbind –p wp_pool1 <PortalPID>”
Bind the resource pool to a Portal process.
